A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.

~ - ~ - ~ - ~Line ~ - ~ - ~ -~A point moving in space. A line can be an actual object (i.e.
railroad tracks), or it can be implied (i.e. geese flying in a “V”).

Shape & Form Shape = 2D; geometric or organic shapes. In photography, shapes are seen in wheels, road signs, windows, a
silhouette of a face, a wet footprint, shadows, etc. Form = 3D; how the lighting in a photo hits your object will determine whether it looks flat (2D) or has
form/volume (3D).

COLOR In photography, when talking about color, you’re talking about light. For our purposes, it is the hue or “name” of a
visual light source. Cameras do not see color, they see value (specifically, 18% gray).
David Haxton

value Value refers to the quality of light, the black white and shades of gray within a photo.
This is sometimes referred to as Low Key and High Key; low key is a photo that’s mostly dark, while high key is a photo with mostly light, or white values.

SpaceThe arrangement of objects within a photograph. Depth of field can help a
photographer manipulate space (i.e. what’s near, far, and in or out of focus).

TextureThis element appeals to the sense of touch. In photography, it is often what makes a photo look more believable, more 3D (i.e. rusty metal, glass, gravel, bricks, plastic).

Principles of Design
Balance. Unity. Variety. Movement & Rhythm. Emphasis. Proportion. Pattern.
Use the elements of art to achieve the principles of design…

BalanceThe arrangement of elements within a composition to create visual stability. Can be symmetrical (mirror image),
asymmetrical (uses size/placement of objects in an “uncentered” way yet still appear visually balanced), or radial (circular style where objects radiate from a central point in an image).

UnityWhen all individual parts of your photograph come together and support each other to make one
unified image.

MovementCan be real, as in the movement of actual objects in the frame; or, can be implied, as in the
way a viewer’s eye travels through a picture.

PatternAchieved by the repetition of any of the elements of art. Even random shapes which are similar
can create a pattern. The key to pattern is repetition.
